THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, Is in receipt
Of letter from Mr.. $. Il. Donahoe, of the
FSiIfax Herald, and of copy Of that paper,
denying the charge that the seizure Of the
Office Of the Register was an attemp5 to
suppress that paper because of its political
course. careful perusal of the two
column explanation In the Herald reveals
that it consists entirely of denials from Mr..
Donahoe and the counsel for the former
owner Of the Register, the parties accused
by that paper OF the attempt to suppress it,
but without any evidence further than their
own statements to verify their denials.
This leaves the question SIS 1t true9'
asked by the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, when
1t published the statement, still unanswered,
because the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, will
not undertake to decide as to the veracity
OF the parties making the issue. One thing
is very evident, II Mr.. Cole was restrained
hy an order of the court from paying money
TO his creditor, Mr.. Taylor, 1t makes no
difference how much he owed Mr.. Taylor
above the amount due to the parties pro-
curing the restraining order, he could MT
pay dollar to Mr.. Taylor until after the
order was discharged.
1t is admitted by the counsel of Mr.. Tay-
lor that there was a restraining order to
prevent payments to Taylor, and that he
endeavored to induce Mr.. Cole, of the
Register, to pay money due Taylor anyhow.
That fact gives color to the Registers side
of the story. AS we have given both sides
hearing in the case we shall let the matter

The Union ex-Prisoners' Association held
their regular monthly meeting last evening
at their rooms, No. Il Corcoran building,
S. f. Thompson (presldent) In the chair.
Several new members were admitted and

Considerable enthusiasm was manifested by
these brave men for the very hattering
recognition shown them by their friends on
the occasion Of their first entertainment at
Willard Hall, April Is. A vote of thanks
was rendered to the ladies and gentlemen
who volunteered their services on that occa-
sion. The treasurer reported all bills paid

THE imports of iron and steel from Great
Britain in the first quarter of 1887 are con-
siierably more than double the imports in
the first quarter Of 1sS6-3ij,3Sj tons
against 15i, 1877 tons-and four times the
quantity imported in the first quarter OF
1Ss5-s5, ,2l4 tons. While the official figures
of our imports OF iron and steel for the
same period from the continental countries
of Europe are not before us, there is every
reason to believe that they kept pace with
those from Great Britain. The imports Of
very heavy; and all the American manu-
facturers are selling their entire product,
which shows an unprecedented activity 10
all industries requiring the use of iron OF
steel.

south generally there should be some strong
opposition TO the dominant party. Why, in
Kentucky 1t is question of nomination only,
and election is so sure that those elected do
not hesitate TO disregard all pledges.
believe that next election will show a
very decided change in the vote of the state,
and that the Republican candidate for gov
ernor, W. o, Bradley. will probably be elected.

STATUE OF LAFAYETTE.

The committee which will have to select
the model for the statue of Lafayette met
yesterday at the War Department. 1t con-
sists of Secretary Endicott, Senator Hoar,
and Architect Clark. They were assisted
by Mr.. Richard NJ. Hunt, the New York
architect, ard Mr.. A. st. Gaudens, the
sculptor. No decision was arrived at, but
the eight models were thoroughly examined
and freely commented on. Barthoidi sub
mitted two designs; Falguiere, of Paris,
two; Falguiere and Mercie, one jointly;
Meade, one, and ID. G. French two, II Il
very probable that one of Falguiere's de.
signs will be the final selection.
After the examination was concluded the
committee were driven to various suitable
parts Of the city to select site for the
monument, On this point also there has
been no decision.

THERE are yet uncalled $40, Isl 900 of the
3per cent. bonds, and 1t is said that seere-
tary Fairchild will not make any further
calls until the beginning of the next fiscal
year. The immense surplus in the United
States treasury makes it the duty Of the
Secretary to call the bonds as fast as posi-
b!e and pay them off, The money is sadly
needed in the channels of business, aud
with an overlooking treasury It is an out
rage upon the people that there should be
a money stringency for single day. The
banks OF the country are already having to
deny good customers discounts, and thus
there is money stringency in the midst OF
plenty.

THE cARNIvAL OF VENICE"
A brilliant audience assembled last evening
TO hear the first representation of Petrella's
opera comlque, "rhe Carnival of Venice"
and from the hearty applause the opera must
have been delightful success. The story is
Of little Importance, but the charming mllo-
dies, sparkling concerted numbers, and anus
ing situations are all calculated TO put an
audience in good humOr, and to give great
satisfaction. The cast included every member
of the Abbott company, and the roles are
evenly distributed. Miss Abbott as Albina
sang and played her somewhat unimportant
part in bright. merry manner and sang the
celebrated aria Carnival of Venice" in a
marvelously brilliant manner that aroused a
storm OF applause and double encore. Miss
Annandale as Mimoia made strong charac.
ter part cut OF her role, and made the hit of
the evening. Pruette, Broderick, aud Allen
all appeared TO good advantage. Tle latter
gentleman's funny sayings, and quaint de-
meanor kept the audience in an almost III
tinuous roar of laughter.
The chorus distinguished itself by It's elegant
military drill and effective singing. The opera
Is not calculated to make great success, but
To-day Emma Abbott will positively appear
at both matinee and night and the entire CON.
pany also appear at both performances
The opera selected for the matinee Is "Cris-
pino md the Fairy" one of the most cele-
brated operas of the Italian school. II Is a
ster. The evening performance Is composed
OF the entire opera of "Chimes of Normandy"
with Abbott, Annandale. aud all the favOrltes
IN the cast, and 10 addition to the "Chimes'
the celebrated lullaby scene from "Erminle'
will be given by Emma Abbott and the full
pearance in Washington and the house Will
doubtless be crowded.

the workingmen: in his address before
"You should have free workingmen at b ,s-
land, and then you ton: produce more,
would be able to WORK and you will have
less and get more for more to divide 1fyou
your work." work fewer hours, and
